Jul 24, 2009 Very light, blonde with decent head and carbonation Smells of lemons and oak. Almost like a Chardonnay. Big lemon-sour taste up front, with a champaign-like finish. Delicious and refeshing on a hot summer day. This is really a wonderfully unique Belgian!

Jul 22, 2009 Pours hazy yellow, almost like the inside of a yellow onion. Small head that dissipates into a small ring. Aroma smells like penicillin, band-aids, citrus, apples and onions. Tastes very tart and fruity. Medicinal, penicillin, cherries, grapefruit rind, band-aid, pencil shavings, and a very nice dry/tart finish. Nice mouth feel. Very enjoyable.

Jul 15, 2009 I read "sour ale" and wasn’t sure what it would be like. I liked it, but more of as a novelty. I would never drink more than one, it tastes like it was brewed with Warheads. I know that sounds amazingly amateur, but what I mean is that the sour flavor and sensation you get from drinking this overpowers any other characteristics about the beer. I’ll give some other sour ales a shot first, then I’ll come back to this.

Jul 15, 2009 Nice golden brew with a very slight haze, small white cap, ok slippery lacing keeps a skim alive. Sour smelling with a weak citrus, yeast, weak pineapple candy, slight wood. Better smelling when warm. Tastes like a sour white wine. Very sour and yeasty, weak oak on the chew. Sour and tart in the mouth and very drying. Drooly finish, dry after taste. This is much better than I thought it would be.

Jun 16, 2009 A rather monotone ale. Bright nose of fresh cider vinegar and un-ripe pear mildly tempered by some sweet malt. The robust acidity never becomes too overbearing as it plays on the palate with malt fruit and a muted but substantial hop bitterness. When the carbonation works itself out this is very reminicent of a Rhone white. Well balanced, and enjoyable, excellent price for a sour. The wood seems to show in the finish as a lingering patron. 88
